Why didn't they like Beckenbauer at Leeds?

In 1975, Bayern Munich and Leeds United faced each other in the final of the European Cup. The English team believes that the French referee made unfair decisions, denying them a clear penalty and disallowing a goal. As a result, Leeds United lost the match 2-0 and their fans caused large-scale riots in Paris. Franz Beckenbauer, the captain of Bayern Munich at the time, was disliked by Leeds United fans as they believed he influenced the referee's decisions. Beckenbauer was a legendary football player known for his style and ability to organize the game. His death adds him to the list of other great footballers who have passed away, such as Pelé, Maradona, Cruyff, Charlton, Best, and others.

However, the UK's Minister of Arts and Heritage, Stephen Parkinson, has now postponed the export license, giving the V&A the opportunity to match the price. The sculpture is considered to be one of the most important cultural objects, and its export has been a topic of discussion for the past 5 years. The V&A has until February 2nd to raise the funds to prevent the sculpture from leaving the country. The sculpture is made of an unusually large piece of fossilized sea horse ivory, and the trade of such materials will be restricted in the UK starting in 2022. The sculpture's origin is not well-known, but it was acquired by collectors John and Gertrude Hunt in 1933. The V&A has had the sculpture on loan since 1982 and recognizes its unique historical and artistic significance.
